## Why it matters

Higher oil prices, rising imports and volatile export revenues are widening Indonesia's fiscal and external pressures, keeping the rupiah weak. Bank Indonesia's reliance on NDF intervention signals it is defending the currency without drawing down spot reserves as aggressively, which matters for the cost of imported feed inputs priced in dollars.
